EVENT
RED FLAG 2018
viewed as the “best of the best” pilots attending Red Flag. Team Demo 4 – 8 Teams Invited The Team Demo category provides for a competitive class of Team jet flying, using a minimum of two, maximum of six pilots flying a choreographed routine for the objective of entertaining the
spectators. The goal is to get the crowd involved by using them as the judging panel that will ultimately select the winning team. Perspective For this non-jet pilot looking in from the outside, Red Flag was an impressive, big-sky event. Whereas, sequences flown for International Miniature Aircraft Association (IMAC)
airplane contests are, in my opinion, typically flown much more close in, except for maybe their freestyle routines. Not a Red Flag! The jets flown by pilots such as Andrew Jesky, Jason Shulman, Mike McConville, Darin Pierce, Arch Stafford, Kal Reifsnyder, Spencer Nordquist, Jase Dussia, etc. were flying big open patterns that often consumed huge spaces of the airfield.
Darin Pierce was also flying a Havoc. He finished in fourth place with 2809.25 points out of a possible of 3,000.
